    When EForm shows the form, all text fields have a "/" in them. It’s not in text areas.

    Does anybody have a clue what could cause this?

        Yeah, I’m using HTML 5 these days, and that peeves me a bit. Fortunately HTML 5 validates either with or without the extra slash.

          So how do you like HTML 5?
          Is it working ok in IE 6 7 8?

          I’m planning the switch myself using html5.js + jquery + LESS(for CSS).

          Thx

            I have no idea how it’s doing with IE of any flavor. Right now I don’t have access to any IEs. But so far I haven’t done anything unusual; I’m just using the elements more for the semantic structure than anything else. A bit of canvas eye candy here and there. I do like having my target="_blank" and other useful attributes be validated.

            By the time I’ve got a new machine and can run IE I’ll be familiar with it, and it will be easier to start working with the more exotic features. I’m sure my fancy CSS 3 styling isn’t working at all on IE, but I do try to make things so that they will be reasonably acceptable even without rounded corners, canvas gradients, and shadows.

              Hi thanks.

              Ok first I was a little confused what I am supposed to do about it but I figured the problem can be solved by adding 
              type="text"
              to

              <label for="name">Name: <span style="color:red;"> *</span></label><br />
    <input maxlength="20" name="name"  eform="Name::1:" size="20"/>



              However, in Evo 1.0.3. and EForm 1.4.4.6 (the same EForm Version I am using now) it worked without adding this. Did anything change in Evo 1.0.4 in regard to this?
              (just tried to have a look at the change log of Evo 1.0.4 but the site doesn’t load)

                  Well, it is supposed to have that, since there are a number of types of input fields (radio, checkbox, submit, reset).

                    eForm just supports the traditional HTML input types. To make it work with the new ones of HTML5 just add in the eform.inc.php after

                    case 'text':
if($name=='vericode') return "<input$t value=\"\" />";
//else pass on to next


                    (about line 856)

                    these lines

                    case 'email':
return "<input$t value=\"\" />";
//else pass on to next
case 'url':
return "<input$t value=\"\" />";
//else pass on to next
case 'date':
return "<input$t value=\"\" />";
//else pass on to next
case 'number':
return "<input$t value=\"\" />";
//else pass on to
